I haven’t been doing snail-mail for a while. Here, in Paraguay, we have to go all the way into town to mail a letter or get cards out of our post office box. Oscar goes once or maybe twice a week, depending on his time or errands. Last year I wrote out about 15 Christmas cards and had them nicely in a pile for my mom to take back after her visit here…well, they still are not mailed and they are still sitting nicely at the bottom of a pile.
It’s just as much work for me to find time to write updates and blogs. When I am on the computer…no one is happy…all of a sudden they all NEEDED to use it or me…all at the same time. My kids are off school and are bored. I need to organize their time, too. Edson wanders around and around the house and we always have to keep an eye on him. Mini problems here and there in school or church need to be solved. So, when all this overwhelms me, I just go to the kitchen and cook! Cooking seems to be a distracting hobby that, of course, HAS TO BE DONE. Once again, I put off writing, and cooking seems to satisfy everyone.
I made a rule, the other day, that I get the computer when Edson sleeps! At least I have time to think and not run around checking where he might be. He is right on the other side of the wall from the computer room...sound asleep. At last, I have peace enough to write. Some very loud music is coming from downstairs. Sometimes a door bangs. Oscar is also taking a “SIESTA”. Everyone is full from lunch.
No Christmas cards this year, just blogging, updating, and Christmas cooking.

I completely understand about the snail mail aspect. It's hard to send/receive snail mail when my house number is the same as everyone elses' on this street. (what ?!?!) Our houses are all #12 on this street.
Isn't it great to be a mom and make the rules to suit our own situations! Trust you have a wonderful holiday season, filled with love, laughter and blessings from above.
Hey, Rog, can't they count any higher than 12? Just curious
